Let’s take a peek-see, shall we?

Wide calf wedding boots: the white, the tan, the fabulous

Let’s take a peek at tall wedding boots for wide calves! If you’re looking for kicky wedding boots but your athletic or plus-size calves make it hard to find boots that fit well, this is your post.

11 pairs of quirky wedding shoes from Hot Chocolate shoes [UPDATED for 2022!]

I’d noticed the shoes of Hot Chocolate Designs before because Modcloth carries a few of their mary jane flats. While I already knew the shoes were cute, holy wow, I had never seen their full line, including multicolored pumps which take things way over the top (just where I like things when it comes to shoes). We’re talking cutie floral heels like the ones above, pineapple mary janes, spiderweb pumps, multicolored tropical heels, and 1970s mod shoes. I have a feeling some of these are going to be just perfect for some of you…

You know that super basic pair of flats you got at PayLess? Or those pleather heels you got last year at Target? Slap some fancy shoe clips on that babies and behold: your fancy-fance dream wedding shoes. For this post, I curated a collection of my favorite wedding shoe clips from Etsy, but of course you can find these things all over the place including, including Amazon.

Of course, because I’m me… I arranged these in rainbow order, including a pair of rainbow shoe clips at the end YAY!

Today I decided to stretch the limits of my own over-the-top shoe tastes (as if that were even possible!) into the stratosphere with outrageous wedding shoes that are so over the top that even I take pause, think “is it too much?,” and then cackle, “NO IT IS NEVER ENOUGH.” Ready for this? Have you tissues ready, because your eyes may bleed in the best possible way…

Wedding moccasins and 5 other shoes for brides who don’t give a shit about shoes

I asked some Offbeat Bride readers on Facebook what I should focus my next shoe post on, and one of them said: “What about a post for brides who don’t give a shit about shoes? I was one of those brides. I ended up with a pair of $19.99 moccasins. They were functional, comfortable, cheap, and got the job (aka not being barefoot) done.”

You know what? This is an excellent idea.
